Air moves upwards at approximately 195 km/h (120 mph or 55 m/s), the terminal velocity of a falling human body belly-downwards. A vertical wind tunnel is frequently called 'indoor skydiving' due to the popularity of vertical wind tunnels among skydivers, who report that the sensation is extremely similar to skydiving.
Urban air mobility is a subset of a broader advanced air mobility (AAM) concept that includes other use cases than intracity passenger transport; [1] NASA describes advanced air mobility as including small drones, electric aircraft, and automated air traffic management among other technologies to perform a wide variety of missions including ...
For human skydiving, there is often a phase of free fall (the skydiving segment), where the parachute has not yet been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity. In cargo parachuting, the parachute descent may begin immediately, such as a parachute-airdrop in the lower atmosphere of Earth, or it may be significantly delayed.
The term "air sports" covers a range of aerial activities, including air racing, aerobatics, aeromodelling, hang gliding, human-powered aircraft, parachuting, paragliding, soaring, and skydiving. [ 1 ]
In the windtunnel sport parachuting and skydiving, bodyflight is performed by applying air flow on certain parts of a body, to control the body any muscular forces can be used. [ 1 ] As a tool for learning to control the body flight, there is a vertical wind tunnel , which makes it possible to fly in the air, simulating free fall due to the ...
Urban Air was an aircraft manufacturer based in the Czech Republic. [1] The company was a manufacturer of light sport and ultralight aircraft and employed 40 people. The company was founded in 1998 by five partners. Their first prototype made its inaugural flight in May 1996, thus pre-dating the company by two years.
Eve Air Mobility develops electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and urban air mobility infrastructure. [3] EVE is a brand that was idealized by the innovation division of Embraer called EmbraerX .
